Officials in the Department of Justice will continue to pursue the federal criminal cases against Trump even if he wins the presidential election in November, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
The DOJ has a longstanding policy that a sitting president cannot be criminally charged or prosecuted, but officials told CNN they believe that rule does not apply to a president-elect. That means if Trump wins in November, he could still be on trial until he is inaugurated in January 2025, per CNN.
